It’s been five days of grind and search to find the problem that caused Sparrow Chat to crash, but finally we’re back up and running, hopefully better than ever.
There’s been so much said about the upcoming ascension of Donald Trump to the US Presidency that it’s hardly worth mentioning anything more about it. I will say one thing: those folk, (you know the determinably optimistic types), who say it won’t be that bad and could be the best thing to happen to Ukraine and the Palestinians, should escape their dreamworld and take a hard look at reality.
Trump is a monster of the worst sort. His ego is so far out of control that nothing good is going to come from the next four years. He is quite likely to go down in history (if anyone’s left alive to write it) as the destroyer of everything living on the planet. He’s decided there is no man-made climate change and all the scientists are wrong, or working for the mythical Deep State who are responsible for spreading the lies. Quite what reason this mythical cabal has for such actions is never made clear. For Trump acolytes the words “Deep State” alone are sufficient to rouse their adrenalin levels and pump up the ire ready for a fight.
“Locked and Loaded!” Yet another phrase guaranteed to get the adrenalin squirting. It’s been echoing across America much more frequently of late. It makes the little boys feel like they’re men.
It’s all very exhausting and debilitating. But there’s a dose of positivity out there also in the shape of Bluesky which is bleeding X dry.
And many podcasts are planning revolution through legal and state means. My biggest fear is his shutting down of all media apart from his own propaganda machine along with the rest of items in Project 2025.
I suppose we, being elders, will not see the worst of what he will do.

WWW ~ yes, I closed the Sparrow Chat Twitter account (I refuse to call it ‘X’) and moved to Bluesky, though I’ve not had time to really check its functions as yet. I doubt Musk will miss me!
Project 2025? Oh, he’s never heard of it. He said so at his rallies. It’s pure coincidence he’s given plumb government jobs to its authors! Of course, he’s a lying skunk of a being, not worthy to be called human. Although, perhaps he is given the lack of quality of many human beings who are presently inhabiting this planet. Those with even a modicum of sense and humanity seem to be in the minority everywhere of late.
Now don’t you be shuffling off the planet in the next four years. I plan to be around and I need your comments from time to time. I think you form a major percent of my readership these days!
Look after yourself.
